Bladder retention

diagnosed with MS 25 years ago and don’t really have any ongoing symptoms. Have kept fairly active hillwalking and running until 5 years ago when diagnosed with PMR/GCA. I began having bladder issues in 2019 and have been diagnosed with bladder retention which doctors link to the MS. I have been self catheterising since then. I feel very alone with this and would just like to learn from others experiences - is there anyone out there with the same issue?

Thanks

I feel your pain. I know exactly what it's like. However sometimes I get dehydrated yeah that gets similar symptoms. Watch that. Take care.
